\_ SMTP quoth Sundar on 2/10/2003 16:16 as having spake thusly: \_ \_ Thanks David, \_ \_ When you say \_ \_ insert into foo ( [contents of file]); \_ \_ Does it mean \_ \_ insert into foo ( filename ); \_ \_ I am just trying to achieve it with a SQL query. Ah. Not quite sure how to do that in one query without resorting to the docs or writing a perl script. I've done it via the later. Both are left as an excercise for the reader. :-) David
